Her theoretical orientation is dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which is an evidence-based practice that emphasizes the concepts of mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, as well as emotional regulation techniques. In this present work, Connie utilizes her practice in DBT to conceptualize common themes inherent in young women and then provides a thought-provoking, spiritually motivating, and empowering journey to assist them in their transition to Sacred Ladyhood.
Connie received her bachelor of arts from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in psychology and African American studies. As a college student, Connie traveled internationally to broaden her scope of understanding of the unique challenges inherent in minority communities across the globe. Connie’s philanthropic experiences were mainly fixated on the African Diaspora and included Ghana, West Africa; Cape Town, South Africa; and Ocho Rios, Jamaica. After college, Connie received her master of arts and her master of education from Teachers College, Columbia University, where she majored in psychological counseling with an emphasis on multiculturalism. She is currently pursuing her PhD from Regent University in counselor education and supervision.
Connie’s compassion for mental health and minority affairs is deeply rooted in her childhood. She was raised in the small town of Norwood, NC, a quiet community in the South eastern part of the United States. It was here that Connie first became aware of the adversity imposed upon disadvantaged people as she observed various levels of overt cultural and institutionalized forms of oppression within her community. Utilizing a culturally sensitive and spiritually inclined awareness, Connie combines her experience with oppression, her professional training, and her international observations to use her voice to challenge institutional norms and provide empowerment for women around the world. Connie’s specialty includes assisting women with the following challenges: poor body image and self-image, addictive behaviors, poor conflict resolution skills, trauma history related to domestic and sexual violence, and healthy relationships.
Connie currently resides in Raleigh, NC, along with her husband, Daniel Omari, and their Maltese, Jazz.
